Syndra Strengths

✓High single-target burst that leaves no way out
✓Long-range AoE stun created with Skill 3
✓Smooth handling from casting skills while moving

Syndra Weaknesses

×No blink, so a positioning error is fatal
×Sphere placement and management demand high skill
×Struggles to burn down tanks stacking MR

Early Game

Use Skill 1's range and short cooldown to harass one-sidedly in lane. When a gank comes, push it off with the Skill 3 knockback and stun. Holding lane control from the start is Syndra's baseline.

Mid Game

Look for the long-range Skill 1 into Skill 3 stun from out of vision to catch an overextended enemy carry. Collect the passive's Splinters of Wrath to upgrade your skills. This is the phase where your kill threshold rises sharply.

Late Game

Late game, your single-target Ult burst and the AoE stun that follows make you a mage who controls the battlefield. Delete anyone who mispositions. Then stun the rest together and close out the fight.

Teamfights

In teamfights, snipe the enemy backline over their frontline with Skill 1 into Skill 3. Put every Ult sphere into the most dangerous target. Then scatter the many spheres left on the field with Skill 3 to stun the whole enemy team.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Casting Skill 3 without a Dark Sphere on the ground

Casting Skill 3 with no sphere on the ground gives only a weak knockback and no stun. You throw away your only self-peel and engage tool. Place a sphere first and knock it with Skill 1 into Skill 3 for the wide stun. Your level 5 Ult also deals more damage the more spheres are on the ground, so keep cycling skills and track your sphere count.

Syndra Patch History

SyndraPatch 7.2d

Buff

Dark Sphere Base Damage: 70/115/160/205 → 80/130/180/230 Force of Will AP Ratio: 45% → 60% Scatter the Weak Cooldown: 17s → 15s AP Ratio: 35% → 50% Since the mage item rework, Syndra has been left behind by her thin AP scaling. All three abilities get help here: Dark Sphere gains 25 damage at rank 4, while Force of Will and Scatter the Weak each pick up 15 points of AP ratio. She hits harder at every stage of the game, and the two seconds off Scatter the Weak let her push back more often when she is the one being shoved in.

SyndraPatch 7.2

Adjust

Syndra's Skill 3 did not have its pre-upgrade cast range properly matched to Skill 2's range, which caused combos to fail unintentionally. The range has been adjusted so they land more consistently. Wave of Darkness Dark Sphere knockback distance: 7.2 → 7.5 The extra 0.3 lines the two ranges up, so placing a sphere and then blasting it now works as one continuous motion. Nothing about how Syndra inputs the combo changes, but stuns that used to fall just short simply land, which is a large practical difference. Both her self-peel against ganks and her teamfight openers become far more reliable.
